With every tumble, handspring and stuck landing at the Paris Olympics, trailblazing two-time gold medal gymnast Carlos Yulo of Team Philippines ignited a wave of Filipino pride. The 24-year-old cemented his legendary status after he took the top spot in the men’s floor and vault events, making him the first male athlete in the Philippines history to win a gold medal. And the Filipino diaspora had no chill.
“I am proud of you, not only because of your medals but because of the hard work you went through to achieve success, for yourself and, especially, for the country,” Diaz wrote in Filipino. James Zarsadiaz, director of the Yuchengco Philippine Studies Program at the University of San Francisco, told NBC News that Yulo’s wins are particularly impressive given the scarcity of resources in the Philippines.
